ELECTRICAL FAILIURES
CHECK YOUR FUSE BOX
IF A CIRCUIT BREAKER HAS OPERATED AND IS POINTING DOWNWARD IT MEANS SOMETHING ON THAT CIRCUIT HAS TRIPPED THE FUSE, CHECK THE APPLIANCES ON THAT CIRCUIT. DO THIS BY A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION IF YOUR CAN NOT READILY IDENTIFY WHICH DEVICE IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.
CHECK THE RCD'S ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD THESE TRIP OUT VERY EASILY AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT LIFE.
RCD 1 OPERATES ON FUSE BANK 1
RCD 2 OPERATES ON FUSE BANK 2
SO IF RCD 1 TRIPS YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM COMES FROM ONE OF THE CIRCUITS IN FUSE BANK 1
AND SIMILARLY IF RCD 2 TRIPS YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM COMES FROM ONE OF THE FUSES IN FUSE BANK 2

TRY TO FIND WHICH DEVICE CIRCUIT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM BY A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION. BY SWITCHING DOWN ALL THE FUSES IN THE FUSE BANK THAT IS EFFECTED AND THEN TURN THEM BACK ON ONE BY ONE AND WAIT FOR THE RCD TO TRIP AGAIN.
